Luanne Leanne Kleinschmidt (née Platter) is the tritagonist of King of the Hill.
She is the niece of Hank and Peggy Hill, and the cousin of Bobby Hill.
She is voiced by the late Brittany Murphy, who also voiced Joseph Gribble in the same show, and Gloria in Happy Feet.
Backstory[]
Luanne was born on March 6, 1979. She lived with her parents in a trailer but her parents got into a fight and her mom stabbed her dad with a fork and went to jail and Hank let Luanne stay with him and his family.
Personality[]
Luanne is a sweet, caring, but somewhat absent-minded and over-emotional young woman. Luanne is introduced in the first episode of Season One, where she is invited to stay with the Hills, claiming her parents need space to resolve some marital difficulties. Near the end of the first episode, a tearful Luanne informs Hank and Peggy that her mother stabbed her father with a fork during an argument, leaving her mother in jail and trailer home repossessed. Moving in to Rainy Street, Hank's beloved den is turned into Luanne's “temporary” bedroom.
Appearance[]
Petite (5'4" and 115 lbs.), shapely and blonde, Luanne is often considered a particularly beautiful young woman. She has large eyes and full lips. Luanne primarily wears a lime green crop top that exposes her belly button and red shorts but is sometimes seen to be wearing a tight orange shirt and mid-blue jeans with a brown belt. Luanne has large breasts, a feature of hers often admired by male acquaintances.
Religion[]
Luanne has always been enthusiastically religious with the Christian God, and became a born-again-virgin for that reason. Luanne attends a Bible study class and briefly taught her own Bible study class from her swimming pool. Of course, this attracted the attention of the neighborhood men. The Bible study ended when Mr. Strickland became so enamored with Luanne that he asked her to marry him, a request that was quickly declined.
According to Luanne, whenever she's faced with a tough decison, she asks herself "What would Jesus do?"
